Then Heath went on to talk about the upcoming holidays and said, ?All right, so as the Fourth of July holidays are upon us, I wanted to bring something up about staying competitive.?

He also emphasized the reason why the holiday should not be on weekdays and said, ?Now, with it being Sunday, 3:30 Eastern standard time, a lot of people were very eager, ok; for Fourth of July being on a Tuesday because they?re able to extend the weekend.?

Heath also cleared up any confusion people might have after hearing the previous part and said, ?Now, I?m not saying that you can?t have you know, some time with yourself or with your family and friends, but think about how you?ve been able to stay locked in. And how some other people haven?t been locked in.? Ultimately, staying disciplined is the most important according to him. Phil?s discipline also comes from a promise he made to his father.
